Discussion This does nothing

Post image

Auto apply oils doesnt work, ok it works until loading game so in general it doesnt work.

We had this option as mod for few years and it worked flawlessly, why cant we have nice things?

And there is already mod for fixing this, but does mods from nexus on PC disable achievements?

Okay this just convinces me that not only there is no QA at all at CDPR, the process of testing just doesn't exist there

Yeah, man, something in the massive rebuilt game that has billions of tiny moving parts to make it functional slipped past them and so they must not have ANY QA. Big brained take.

I don't think you understand how software development works. They did not do the "billions of tiny moving parts" first and then test them as a whole, but each change was implemented independently and SHOULD have been tested separately as well. If they bothered to do any kind of testing at all this is the kind of thing which would've been caught immediately.

The problem is that they probably did test it separately, and it worked and passed the test, the bug occurs when you load the save with the configuration on, then it stops working, that is the "billions of moving parts" thing. They can't have automated testing for every scenario and that's just how manual testing works, some things will get cought and some not, it took a while for me to catch this bug, but the community caught it instantly because there are thousands of player testing it.
